Just kidding around. A new tile for the unicorn:

Just kidding around. A new tile for the unicorn:

Reminds me of a nightmare from HoMM. 


Anyway have been experimenting with an alchemy based workaround to recent metal deficits,
and for the most part works well..
TOO WELL! (for df atleast  )

So how would I go about adding a small chance of explosion, miasma, small liquid pool etc.. (or even creature spawn) to a reaction?
(centered at the workshop and the unfortunate  Urist Would-be-alchemist)
ps: If possible ofcourse.. 

[Deon]

You reminded me! I wanted to add nightmares long time ago, as an opposite creature for the unicorns... How could I forget.

As for the reaction, just make it to have a small chance to drop a "stone" from a material which boils at room temperature and/or has some cool syndrome.

When you run out of all things high fantasy, will you start adding steam punk/magitek stuff?

i just had an idea have 2 waypoints on a map and have it so there is a Flying ship go between them ferrying dwarfs

Will allow for multiple entrances or quicker ways for dwarfs to get to top of Giant towers

Floating/mobile platforms would make me so happy...

only problem is i dont think you can make things float until Toady puts in vehicles

Edit: planes would be awsome urist mcpilot Has been shot down

Am I the only one who thinks that Final Fantasy 6 Magiwalkers would be cool? You know- build a giant bipedal steel frame, capture a unicorn, and install it to power the machine and its dual frost cannons. As a cheap alternative, you could use elves.

Heck, you should be able to use elves, fairies, and everything wonderful and cute as a fuel source.

Finally a use for all those caged creatures! i want to infuse my weapons/armor with souls haha turn entire sieges into enchantments--a full suit of gobbo/elf soul infused clown armor with an axe that uses the souls of 40 immigrant dwarves.

Hey Deon, do you have v31.18 archived? Cause v31.19 is quite FREAKING buggy. If nawt, then if you got it in your comp, feel free to upload zat.

I'll wait for 3.20 for sure, I read what Toady already has fixed in a few days.

Awesome, it was one of the first things I modded for myself..
I figure if a unicorn is a poster-boy for good forest then nightmare should be the obvious choice for evil > especially so now that in genesis ww's are a full civ.
(plus nightmares are loads of fun, I made em spit fire a'lla obsidian dorfs..
you should see my embark once those two meet  )

Heh nice idea, but honestly I was poking around to see whether you came up with some way to spawn ''creatures'' (vermin atleast) from a reaction.
(can't blame me for dreaming huh?  )

[Deon]

It's actually pretty easy to make vermin for reaction. Just go with VERMIN or PET for an item type, CREATURE for material type and creature ID for the material.

Also, I want all you pseudo-graphics likers to go and vote on the water tiles if you have free time:
http://www.goblincamp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=341

I have a LOT of trouble deciding which way should I make this or another tile, so I will definitely need some community guidance .

Deon, I think I've found another spelling error (grammar actually)

''(Steel Dwarf) Steel dwarves are rarely born to a family which was blessed by a god.''

That kinda means that while Steel Dwarves are normally not uncommon, the chances of your child becoming a Steel Dwarf is lower when you are blessed by a god.
Which is probably not what you meant.

"(Steel Dwarf) Rarely, a family is blessed by a god, and a Steel Dwarf is born"

Also, I would like to note that my steel dwarf adventurer (whom I named Armok the Destroyer of Universes) has slaughtered several waves of bogeymen. And he's only Hero Level.

[Lord Shonus]

"Steel Dwarves are very rarely born, and always indicate the blessing of some god."

Least awkward phrasing I can think of.
